Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1714

That plot twist had nearly scared Kurt to death.

He actually thought she was going to say something terrible.

"Of course," Kurt answered without missing a beat. "In this family, you will always be the boss."

"Good."

Satisfied with the answer, Juniper looked over at Shanley, who was quietly eating his egg. "Let's go."

"Hmm?"

Shanley had just picked up a piece, but he put his fork down and obediently stood up.

She rushed over here in a panic, not to object...

But to make sure her "boss" status wasn't threatened?!

Shanley chuckled.

As he walked past Kurt, he paused and looked at him.

"Shanley."

Kurt immediately stood up straight, looking like a soldier bracing for impact.

"Stop acting so recklessly all the time," Shanley reminded him in a low voice. "Since you've decided to be with Ebony Fox, you have to consider all the consequences."

"No matter what happens, you have to shield her."

No matter how tough Ebony Fox was, she was still a woman.

In the Schwartz family.

Women were meant to be cherished, not subjected to grievances.

"I understand," Kurt nodded seriously. "I'll do my best to follow your example."

"Good."

Shanley patted his shoulder, the corners of his lips curling up slightly. He then looked at Ebony Fox, his tone becoming polite. "Sorry for the intrusion, we'll be leaving now."

Ebony Fox nodded, walking the two of them to the door and watching them leave.

The door closed.

Ebony Fox leaned against the wall, letting out a long sigh of relief.

"Scared?"

Kurt sidled up next to her, grabbing her hand, a wide grin breaking out on his handsome face. "Don't be scared. Now, it's not just me; we have Shanley and Juniper's support too."

Ebony Fox lifted her gaze, her clear eyes staring quietly at him.

A few seconds later.

She raised a hand, pinching Kurt's cheek, and frowned. "You really are oblivious, aren't you?"
